Commercial Real Estate

With experience in real estate transactions and leasing involving multi-family, student housing, senior housing, office, and retail properties, we can manage clients’ real estate transactions from start to finish or provide more limited representation as needed. We also are available to advise owners and management companies on legal issues and litigation associated with the ownership and management of real estate.

Real Estate Transactions

We assist clients in negotiating contracts for purchase and sale, performing due diligence as required, negotiating transfer documents and closing of the transaction. We counsel clients on alternative structures for any proposed transaction so as to minimize closing costs, federal or state income taxes, including Section 1031 exchanges. In addition, we assist in obtaining any necessary consents or approvals required for a particular transaction from third parties, including state or local governmental authorities and provide advice on any federal, state or local governmental reporting/disclosure requirements that may be necessary.

Real Estate Finance

Whether you are acquiring or refinancing commercial real estate, we have experience negotiating CMBS, agency, mezzanine, and banking loans, even in the face of complex ownership or lender structures.

We also canhelp find practical and efficient solutions for distressed commercial real estate challenges via loan renegotiations, lease restructurings, foreclosure and receivership defense, and deeds-in-lieu negotiations. We also have assisted real estate investors with short sale acquisitions and the purchase of REO from institutional lenders.

Real Estate Development and Construction

We help clients manage the conflicting needs of owners, developers, lenders, and other stakeholders to find common ground and reach appropriate, cost-effective solutions to meet real estate development and construction goals. From due diligence, acquisition, and financing, to construction, leasing, and disposition, we take a proactive approach to reach a timely, cost-effective agreement among all parties. When litigation or arbitration cannot be avoided, our experienced construction litigation attorneys are there to guide clients through the arbitration or litigation process.

Real Estate Securities

We guide real estate securities clients through the process step-by-step, from preparation of private placement memoranda and other offering documents, to preparation and filing state and federal filings, to assistance with preparing and negotiating broker-dealer and selling group agreements, to advice on investor relations matters. Using our experience dealing with developers, sellers, investors, securities sponsors, tenant-in-common and Delaware statutory trust sponsors, lenders, and regulators, we are able to find creative and cost-effective ways to structure real estate securities offerings to meet client needs.
